Bellsoph rental valuations are automated estimates based on advertised rental evidence and official statistics. They are not a formal or RICS valuation or financial advice, and achieved rents depend on condition, presentation, timing and demand. Market data: ONS Price Index of Private Rents and UK House Price Index, September 2026.
A lower local rent benchmark
In September 2026, the average rent in St Helens was £811, compared with £975 across North West England. St Helens was 16.8% lower than the regional average. These are area-level rent statistics, not advertised rents or direct comparables for an individual property.
The St Helens annual rent rate was 6.9% higher than a year earlier, and 1.2 percentage points higher than the North West annual rate. The current rent gap describes the difference in levels; it does not show whether that gap widened or narrowed over time.
Bedroom size and rent
For September 2026, the average was £596 for a one bed, £742 for a two bed, £907 for a three bed and £1,307 for a four or more bed. The largest published adjacent step was from a three bed to a four or more bed: the averages differ by £400 a month. These are different property groups, not an estimate of the rent effect of adding a bedroom to a particular home.
Annual rates varied by bedroom size: the three bed rate was 7.2%, while the four or more bed rate was 6.0%. This category-level spread is not a weighted contribution to the overall St Helens figure.
Differences by property type
In September 2026, averages ranged from £690 for a Flat Maisonette to £1,172 for a Detached. A Terraced averaged £802, and a Semi-detached £887. These broad type averages provide context for benchmarking, rather than evidence of comparable listings.
The annual rate was lowest for Flat Maisonette at 6.2% and highest for Semi-detached at 7.2%. Match both property type and bedroom count when using these statistics as context; the figures do not identify individual homes.
